WA is the second Hammer&Sickle State.. NSW of course, is the Crown Jewels of Communism.

Sorry Mate, I know the thread got hijacked but, I gathered you'd already gotten your answers any how.

I don't know if having property letters from interstate is acceptable in WA, but I doubt it. ACT is similar, no hunting except on private property, which is hard for hunters that hunt in NSW. I would recommend contacting WA Firearms and ask them what is involved. I was told (by Firearms Branch) that you can't maintain a WA licence if you don't own any firearms, I expect they lied to me, but if you can keep your licence I would do so - having to get it back again would be a royal pain in the arse.

Be aware that firearm and ammunition storage is different to everywhere else. Bullets and brass are classed as "ammunition", requiring the same level of security as your firearms, and requiring a licence to possess. You can only possess ammo components for firearms you have on your licence. Borrowing other people's firearms requires adding them to your licence.

In WA you are licensed for each individual firearm you own or are a co user of, hence why if you don’t own any firearms you don’t maintain a license. You need to belong to a club for pistols as you wil require club sponsorship to obtain a license. If your current club has affiliation with a WA club this may make it easier(something that might be worthwhile enquiringly about).
As stated, brass is considered ammo so is required to be locked away.
Some of the LGS do assist with property letters so this may also help.
